There are many arguments over which is a better machine translation of languages or a real live, thinking breathing human being. Of course, both have their benefits and the downsides, but it really comes down to preferences. Machines can be easier to work with, but often polyglots come up with better translations. The only thing is that a polyglot might be more expensive to hire for translation than simply running it through an online machine.

There are many benefits of polyglots, especially when it comes to translation. There are just some things humans have that machines don't. Many polyglots are fluent in many different languages, which means that they understand the many nuances that each language has. This makes it easier for them to translate it directly with the different meanings.
